Database Moderator & Tikibar Management

Sr. Forum Moderator

And I am so done with people making new threads specifically to complain about how they don’t like that some new users are making useless entries. This has been discussedmanytimes, to the point where the threads concerning new users’ entries become more annoying than the entries themselves.
Calm down, take a deep breath, and let the admins take care of it.

We’re all VERY well aware of the influx of new users, and the confusion many have over how to use the site.

There are a number of solutions in development including…

The KYMFAQ (It’s a long one!)
Forum Rules and Regulations
Splitting the forums into 4 boards
Karma (community-regulating points that users give and take from each other)
Games Posting won’t count toward overall Contributions
Database Contributions will be displayed separate from Forum posts.

These are all almost complete, but getting bugs worked out before being released.

We’re also planning on…

Creating a Forum Mod admin level that doesn’t edit the DB
Promoting a couple of users to Forum Mod
Adding the ability for users to grant editing privileges of their entries to other users for collaboration.
These are a little further down the line.

Yay. I need to get up earlier, all the cool stuff seems to be explained in the morning (where I am). Also, I am paranoid. I am a naturally paranoid person. I say so, because I don’t want to seem rush-y when I say, don’t forget my awesome question that I totally insist you answer on your own time. But you probably haven’t forgotten. I guess I’m just paranoid. Like I said. Paranoid.

I can’t wait for those updates to be added though, like I’ve said before, there’s no need to rush them. Take your time and only add them when you guys have fixed up all the bugs and are happy with the final results.
